The Research
Behind The Approach
“Storytelling engages not just people's intellect, but also their feelings: a bald recitation of facts invariably lacks the impact (and the enduring power) of a coherent narrative that awakens one's emotions.”
“Emotional engagement generated through personal science narratives could help counteract these predispositions and generate the audience involvement that traditional science communication has found lacking.”
“You’ve probably had an experience where you’ve attended a data-heavy presentation and found yourself nodding off within the first few minutes. In certain roles, the data is super important. But for most people, they need context for what is being shown.”
“When we see or hear a story, the neurons in our brain fire in the same patterns as the speaker’s, a process known as 'neural coupling.' ... The motor and sensory cortices, as well as the frontal cortex are all engaged during story creation and processing.”
